Definitions

  • the present invention relates to antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to PD-L1, and to methods of using such antibodies and antigen-binding fragments.
  • PD-L1 Programmed death receptor Ligand 1
  • PD-1 is a ligand of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1).
  • PD-1 is primarily expressed on lymphocytes and has two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2.
  • PD-L2 is not as common as PD-L1.
  • PD-L1 is also known as cluster of differentiation 274 (CD274) or B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1) and is a 40 kDa type 1 transmembrane protein which is encoded by the CD274 gene.
  • Both PD-L1 and PD-1 belong to immunoglobulin superfamily and consist of two extracellular Ig domains, an N-terminal V domain, and a C-terminal constant domain.
  • PD-L1 to programmed death 1 (PD-1) and B7-1 (CD80) is on the IgV-like domain (Lin et al. (2008) PNAS 105:3011-3016). While PD-L1 contains a conserved short intracellular tail (about 30 amino acids), PD-1 contains two cytoplasmic tyrosine-based signaling motifs, an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM).
  • ITIM immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif
  • ITDM immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif
  • PD-1 recruits the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 to the ITSM motif within its cytoplasmic tail, leading to the dephosphorylation of effector molecules such as CD3 Zeta, PKC theta and ZAP70 that are involved in the CD3 T cell signaling cascade (Freeman et al. (2000) J Exp Med 192:1027-34; Latchman, et. al. (2001) Nat Immunol 2:261-8; Carter et al. (2002) Eur J Immunol 32:634-43).
  • effector molecules such as CD3 Zeta, PKC theta and ZAP70 that are involved in the CD3 T cell signaling cascade
  • PD-L1 is not only widely distributed on leukocytes and nonhematopoietic cells in lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues, but also in various cancer cells. Clinical data suggest that high tumor expression of PD-L1 is associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and poorer prognosis.
  • the formation of PD-1/PD-L1 complex transmits an inhibitory signal and negatively regulates T cell immune responses; it inhibits TCR-mediated T cell activation, cytokine production and T cell proliferation (Fife et al. (2011) Nature Immunology 10:1185-1193); induces exhaustion or anergy among cognate antigen-specific T cells (Hofmeyer et al.
  • the present invention provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to programmed death-1 ligand 1(PD-L1). In some embodiments, the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof bind to human PD-L1. In some embodiments, the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof bind to PD-L1 and block binding of PD-1 and/or CD80 to PD-L1. In further embodiments, the anti-PD-L1 antibodies and fragments thereof bind to PD-L1 and disrupt the PD-L1/PD-1 or PD-L1/CD80 pathway. In one embodiment, the antibody or fragment thereof is a murine antibody, a chimeric antibody, a human antibody or a humanized antibody. In one embodiment, the anti-PD-L1 antibody or fragment thereof is a monoclonal antibody, scFv, Fab fragment, Fab′ fragment, F(ab)′ fragment, bispecific antibody, immunoconjugate, or a combination thereof
